A speed hump installation project will result in the closure of a portion of 24th Avenue on Wednesday, October 23rd.
While the project is underway, the section of 24th Avenue between Summitview Avenue and Lincoln Avenue will be closed to through traffic. Work on the project will take place from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm on October 23rd.
It is important that cars not be parked on the street on 24th Avenue between Summitview and Lincoln while the project is ongoing. Cars parked on that section of 24th Avenue during the project hours may be towed at the owner’s expense.

Drivers are reminded that the speed limit through all traffic-related work zones within the City of Yakima is 20 miles-per-hour.
Access to businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible and emergency vehicles will be allowed through the project area.
